Truck enforcement in Texas will soon be ramped up in certain areas around the state.
Gov. Greg Abbott acted earlier this year to sign into law multiple bills to open the door to local law enforcement to enforce commercial vehicle safety standards.
Currently, the Texas Department of Public Safety is solely responsible for enforcing overweight rules. Certain exceptions are made for select counties. Overweight fines range from $100 to $10,000, depending on how many pounds the truck is overweight.
Effective Sept. 1, a group of laws will expand the list of law enforcement agencies to enforce truck rules.
